Domke
surname tree, burials, plats
Fayette County Iowa

Widow Rose Domke and five known children immigrated 1869-1870 from Prussia, or likely Schneidanuhl in NW Poland.
The family stayed in New York for the first year, abt. 1870-1871, before moving to Chicago for two years, abt. 1871-1873.
They then moved to a 40a farm a half mile NxNW of Main.St, Eldorado, Dover.Twp, Fayette.Co.IA, or abt. 1873-1874.
Eldorado and the NW corner of Westfield Twp, were the central locations for the family in the early decades.
Julius & Martin would farm SE of Eldorado, as would Otellia with her husband Daniel T. Danielsen/Danielson.
In 1891, son August would moved to a major farm in section 5 of Westfield.Twp.
Rose's grandson Fritz/Fred would later farm near Wadena in Illyria.Twp, followed by east of Wadena in Highland Twp, of Clayton.Co.

August Domke (the oldest known child of Rose) and wife Anna Marie, with seven children moved from Dover.Twp to a major farm in sec 5 of Westfield.Twp in 1891.
Four more children were born on what became known as the 'Domke' farm north of Fayette, in Westfield.Twp.
Both parents died in 1901. The eleven Domke children would remain together on the farm, which was retained until sometime between the 1927 & 1938 plats.
The children remained very close throughout life, with several attending UIU at Fayette, becoming career educators.
Eight of the eleven children of August remained unmarried, with no offspring found for any of the eleven.

Do not trust as totally valid any tree/report data. Often World Connect or Ancestry trees/data were utilized as a foundation upon which to add material gleamed from obits, articles, histories, biographies, stories, burials, censuses and other data collected. My primary interest is generally the pioneer history and includes linking village and neighborhood surnames together for several of the early generations. Family connections, locations and other data may have to be speculated in order to continue a complex series of inter-related projects. My web pages are primarily personal study projects for note keeping, but can also jump start others. I have a huge number of projects started and rarely return to edit/update material unless interest is rekindled. Any web pages online are usually linked off the 'Index Page.' Numerous projects are not put on web pages but are in draft form or in the form of photo albums on the 'Photo Hosting Site.' I may have material for research use in storage, plus will/can upload other people's material if appropriate.
